Start with experimenting on your own computer. You can install Docker and setup Lemmy fx. Any reason you can’t keep your computer running?

There’s also IONOS with their £1 and £2 server: https://www.ionos.co.uk/servers/vps

Now the spambots are also using AI 😫

I’m hosting several things, including Lemmy and PeerTube. I haven’t really been aware of any scrapers, but do you know of any software that can help block it?

Like what and what have you tried to block it?

Time to spin up a new Funkwhale server!

This is a cool tool. Thanks for sharing. Don’t worry about the downvotes. The Fediverse has a few anti-AI zealots who love to brigade.

No way this is real! Right?

You attacked and insulted a disabled person for using AI.

Ableists and zealots are really coming out of the woodwork now.

Disappointing. AI has done a lot for accessibility.

What do you mean by “Clankers”? Clanker is a term for robots and AI. So are you saying robots and AI love to play the “disabled card”?

What’s your channel?

Not exactly. Most PeerTube instances does not follow a lot of other PeerTube instances. This however doesn’t prevent other instances from following said PeerTube instance. You can follow any channel on a PeerTube instance from any other Fediverse application.

Well you also got The Linux Experiment explaining Linux :D

Canonical made Snap, so would be weird if they didn’t ship with it in Ubuntu.

PeerTube.wtf. I haven’t come across things that were awful. Only some porn. I have blocked 11 instances in the last year.

Pretty nice, but since my instance follows everything from instances.joinpeertube.org automatically, I can’t recommend that anyone “trust” my instance.

PeerTube’s biggest weakness is not decentralization, but fragmentation imho.

That’s one reason why I never connected mine to the internet.
